Day 7. Thursday, 10th April 2014. Sanquhar to Wanlockhead. 7miles. Today's walk is by far the shortest, made necessary by the availability of accommodation. I was in no hurry to get going so I visited the museum of Sanquhar and did some shopping prior to setting off at 11.20. The path rises quite steeply over 1,000 ft to open moorland on grassy sometimes muddy terrain then dips to the valley at Cogshead. Another sheepish climb took me on similar ground to the top of Glengebar Hill at 1,574 ft. Sat on a stile for lunch with good views of the surrounding hills then descended on good grass to the ex lead mining village of Wanlockhead, the highest village in Britain. Arrived too late to make full use of the mining museum but picked up some literature on the subject. With time to spare, I called in at the Wanlockhead Inn, the highest in Scotland, for refreshment. The real ale pump was temporarily out of use but the landlord told me that tomorrow it would be serving the very first of his micro brewery's ale. Just my luck to miss it. He wasn't quite sure what to call it but it would have the tag line 'ale with altitude' I returned to said pub for dinner, homemade chicken curry, where I was the only customer. Weather. Yet another dry day, again predominantly cloudy and a cool breeze upstairs. Poll latest. The landlord was a strong nationalist so Ayes 3 Noos 7 Doon't Noos 2 Knee vootin' 2
